"What are we gonna do?" I walk into the house with my sons.
"Yeah!" Gunner crosses his arms.
"We made a decision, bud" dad stands up.
"Well, what is it?" I ask.
Everyone looks at each other.
"We should all have a normal life, Tagg. We can be out of this mess. Your children won't be targeted. You can rest. Everyone can rest" dad says.
I run my fingers through my hair. "So what now? Are we gonna make a tombstone for The Red Hooders? Throw everything away?"
"Just surrender our stuff" dad looks down. "It's not easy for any of us"
"I wish this was a nightmare" I frown.
"We all do" Oliver hugs me.
"Grandpa was in on the decision too. He agreed it's time to surrender" dad adds.
Surrender.

"Throw it!!" I shout.
"OH FUCK!!" Nick runs past me.
"I GOT YOU! YOU'RE NOT GONNA DIE TODAY!" Oliver guards Nick and catches the football.
A football.
It's the same day we decided to surrender. We just took time to practice normal life, something we're not use to.
I laugh and sit down. "Daddy!!" Layla runs to me with Callie behind her.
A huge smile grows on my face as I catch her. "Hey, baby!! How are you?!"
"Good!!" she sits on my lap.
"She didn't want to stay home" Callie laughs.
"Layla!!!" Gunner runs and picks up his sister. "I missed you!!"
"I missed you too!!" Layla hugs him.
"Hey, lil sis!!" Eddie comes over with Genesis.
Callie chuckles, sitting next to me. "Such a brothers girl"
"She really is" I say.
"I can't believe it's over" she holds my hand and I sigh.
"I know. The boys are taking it pretty hard since they've wanted to be Red Hooders since they were five" I look at her.
"Aw, yeah. But they'll always be an Archer and sons of a Red Hooder. I know it's hard for you guys to surrender the Archer name, but just know you'll all always be well known" she kisses my cheek and hugs me. "Always"
"Tagg!" dad laughs at someone from before. "Come on! We're gonna bury our weapons!"
I rub Callie's back before standing up and walking over to the team.
Grandpa walks over with a face of disappointment.
Disappointment that what our family is known for, is ending.
We all stand by a huge tree, digging up a good side hole.
"Let's make an oath, yeah?" I look at everyone.
"If this all ends, we will come back as The Red Hooders" Nick looks at me.
"This grave thing an be a symbol" Oliver places his knife in the hole.
Dad puts his gun.
Grandpa puts his rope, as he use to hang people.
Nick places his three guns in as he use to be afraid one would run out of ammo.
And finally, I put my throwing starts in.
"The Red Hooders!" we throw our arms up.
"And to the future Red Hooders that aren't anymore!" Gunner, Genesis, and Eddie laugh, throwing their arms up too.
And then a car near by loses control,
falling onto us.
